Question 1 of 5
The client asks the clinic nurse if he should take 2,000 mg of vitamin C a day to prevent getting a cold. On which scientific rationale should the nurse base the response?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Megadoses of vitamin C (>2,000 mg/day) can lead to oxalate crystal formation in urine, increasing kidney stone risk. Evidence for cold prevention is weak, and echinacea or higher doses are not supported.
